National Enquirer: Sarah Palin Lover revealed

[bigworld]

Source: National Enquirer

In a world exclusive The NATIONAL ENQUIRER names GOP VP Candidate Sarah Palin's secret lover!

No less than three members of the man’s family including one by sworn affidavit have claimed that Sarah Palin engaged in an extramarital affair with hus­band Todd’s former business partner, Brad Hanson.

These sources have named Hanson as Palin’s secret love, and say their affair nearly wrecked both their marriages.

Hanson owned a snowmobile dealership with Palin’s husband Todd, who immediately dissolved the partnership after he heard stories about the affair, which occurred around 1996, according to the sources. At the time, Palin was mayor of Wasilla.

As much as I hate to cite the Enquirer, and at the risk of this getting relegated to the forums, thought this might prove interesting / titillating.

1. Things that make ya go HMMMMM...

I would LOVE for this to be true!!

[tblue]

Quite often the National Equirer's stories are true.

[glinda]

30. I KNOW!

WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT?

[foxer]

73. CIA used to leak true stories to them so everyone would think BS

[blm]

11. At THIS level of celebrity, the NE would no way print this story if they didn't have the proof.

They'd get their asses sued off by the highest powered attorneys in the country and they know it.

This story is definitely true.

[Texasgal]

31. Just wish it would get better mainstream

coverage!!

Without it this story will be questioned unfortunatly.

[foxfeet]

42. Anyone know if the MSM is even looking into this?

After the Edwards debacle, you'd think they'd be on it like white on rice.

[LynneSin]

2. They were right about John Edwards

Go figure

[BOSSHOG]

5. And rush limbaugh

[Cheap_Trick]

17. What, did the Enquirer report that Jabba the Limbaugh was a junkie pedophile?

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

19. Oxy. They're more-or-les the ones that blew that story open, getting his

dealer/maid or whatever to talk.

iirc.

[Maine-ah]

65. and Clinton

[demokatgurrl]

33. Yes, they are too afraid of lawsuits

They've been burned enough. If it's in the Star or some other rag, could be entirely fake. But in the NE, it is very likely true.

[MannyGoldstein]

3. The Palins Can Have An Entire Week On Jerry Springer

Oy gevalt.

[tblue]

9. WTF?

[moriah]

84. I assume he means they have enough drama...

Day 1: Daddies Who Must Raise Too Many Kids And How They Deal

Day 2: Infidelity In the House

Day 3: Childhood Traumas -- Forcing Your Kids To Kill

Day 4: Teen Pregnancy -- How To Deal With Your Problem And Not Kill Your Grandchild

Day 5: Moms Who Post Their Family Business All Over The News

[LynneSin]

10. Give it 2 years and they'll be a reality show on VH1

Perhaps they can do a dating show with Bristol Palin since I highly doubt she's marrying Levi anytime soon.

[Orrex]

4. I suspect Sasquatch

After all, he wears fur, and he is indigenous to the northwest.

[BlueJessamine]

13. lol

:rofl:

[StatGirl]

28. And you know what they say about the size of his . . .

. . . foot.

[spoony]

50. That's why he's in hiding now.

[KurtNYC]

6. Sworn affidavit

Smoking Gun should have that affidavit soon.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

90. this part might be a problem...

"Burdett is a former brother-in-law of Hanson’s estranged wife Carolyn's brother, Craig Batton, and still speaks with many family members..."

reads like a joke...

sP

[grannie4peace]

7. weeeehaaaaa!!!!!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[LisaM]

8. There are a few times you have to sacrifice principle....

Sarah Palin would be a disaster for the country and the world. If the Enquirer ends up bringing her down, then so be it. And, in her case, it would be fair, since she trots out her dysfunctional family whenever she can as if they are stars in her crown. If she's going to pretend to run on family values, she can crash and burn on family values as far as I'm concerned. She is really a frightening and despicable choice for McCain to have made, which really puts his own judgement in a bad light.

[Warpy]

12. Magoo sicced his team of rabid lawyers on the Enquirer

about this two weeks ago. I guess the Enquirer fought back by getting the affidavits.

Want to bet our great men of the press are as silent as a tomb about this?

Their immediate trumpeting of Edwards's affair shows their hypocrisy.

At least Palin's base does tend to read the tabloids.

[daleo]

14. If this is proven, watch the corporate media spin it

"They patched up their marriage, even after rocky times."
"Their love for their children overcame this tragic error."
"She had a revelation from Jesus, and asked for forgiveness."

And so on.

On edit:
"Clinton's bad example misled them."

[yardwork]

37. I'm sure it will all be blamed on Clinton.

[DCKit]

39. Ahh, the influence of the magic clenis reaches to AK to corrupt the faithful.

Jerry Springer's been walking around all priapic since the Palin Prick.

Wonder how they're going to explain Wasilla as "The Meth Capitol of Alaska". What has Bill C. been up to?

[RobertSeattle]

44. Youthful indiscretion

[armodem08]

15. And didn't Hanson recently have his divorce records sealed? Hmmmmm.... n/t

[City Lights]

29. That was another Palin business partner...Scott Richter.

http://www.courtrecords.alaska.gov/pa/pa.urd/pamw2000.docket_lst?68762762

[DJ13]

16. Why is this news?

His name was out when the story first broke a couple of weeks ago.

[Jackpine Radical]

22. That's what I thought, except

that they didn't have confirmation that the relationship was...uh...carnal. They must have that now.

[Hugin]

18. Two words of advice for Palin:

Don't unpack.

[gingersnaps1]

20. Wow, another thing she has in common with John McCain.

She really is this man's soulmate.

[cosmicone]

21. This is not good news.

This will a) distract from Palin's REAL shenanigans, immunizing her against them by lumping them together as tabloid material and b) may generate sympathy for her with a backlash that could hurt our chances.

At this point, anyone who supports Palin is a diehard fundie who would not believe anything negative even if she ate her baby on live TV. So this revelation will not help at all.

[merwin]

24. So Edwards' affair was tabloid material as well?

[cosmicone]

26. Edwards' support was mostly from logical, thinking and well-informed people

Palin's support on the other hand is from bible-thumping, abortion-clinic-bombing, gun-touting, warmongering, gay-bashing, trailerpark hicks who won't change their minds. They will write this off as non-credible "they just want to hurt poor innocent Sarah" and vote for her even more fervently.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

76. Some, maybe

But there are still others who would see her as a "harlot" and a "jezebel". You really can't lump these nuts into groups too well.

[roguevalley]

64. I disagree. there are zillions of 'nice people' out there who aren't

ideologues who want the people in the White House and Admiral's House to be nice too. this will turn them off, especially since they are so 'goody-goody' and tout their morality like they mean it. It will be a
downer for zillions.

[ClarkUSA]

23. The National Enquirer has the highest circulation of any paper/magazine in the U.S.

This series exposing Palin is worth millions in oppo-advertising dollars for Team Obama. :thumbsup:

[dixiegrrrrl]

45. Enquirer copies last week were sold out in most stores here .

God bless my lil country redneck town.
The Enquirer will be read by everyone.
Hell, I even picked up a copy...collector's item, don'tcha know.

[dchill]

25. Actually, and quite counter-intuitively, I am getting to...

just LOVE links to the Enquirer! And I'm less than half-joking!
:)

[trashcanistanista]

27. He is a H.S. Hockey coach.

No wonder she was a hockey mom.

[glinda]

32. He was on another City Council too I guess.

[hamsterjill]

63. Gives it a whole new meaning.

Doesn't it? LOL

[debbierlus]

34. Actually, the Enquirer is quite good at this kind of dirt - and in a mature political landscape

It shouldn't matter.

However, since we don't have a mature political landscape and sex scandals are put above issues, let her have it.

She is the worst kind of human being. Let's expose her to the truth.

[Mark E. Smith]

35. The Nut and the Slut

Quite a ticket the GOP has given this here nation.

[firedupdem]

36. The Enquirer is actually pretty factual about big stories. I believe

this one because they wouldn't risk the McBush cronies coming after them...it's true!

[marions ghost]

38. New soap:

"The Mayor of Wasilla"

[Gwendolyn]

51. "Like sand through the hourglass...

...these are the Palin family secrets 'n bloopers."

(Brad Hanson is a great name for a soap character!)

[marions ghost]

68. 'secrets and bloopers' ....

:rofl:

Brad, Todd, and sons named Track and Trig...

it's writing itself...

I think it's the way she thinks of it--she's starring in her own movie.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

57. "The New Northern Exposure"

[marions ghost]

66. LOL yep

I love the affair with the snowmobile business partner. I wonder which of her children is his....?:spank:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

70. lol! I went and checked the age of her younger daughter, but nah, if the article is

right, she was born a year before the affair began. Is it Trig? I still think Trig is Bristol's! OMG! It really is a Soap!!!!

:rofl:

BTW.. Brad Hanson although along Todd's type is way cuter. ;)

[DCKit]

40. Anyone else think all these "failed business ventures" reek of money laundering?

Just thinking out loud.

[mitchum]

69. That is exactly what I have been thinking

[RobertSeattle]

41. Covershot

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. that does explain the rift between the couples.

Need more recs.

[chat_noir]

46. SARAH PALIN LOVER REVEALED!

[llmart]

71. Hmm....

Anyone want to comment on what she's measuring with her fingers? Caption "And Todd's **** was this small so I couldn't see it from Russia so I had to find someone else."

Ooohhh... I'm bad.

[symbolman]

77. It's because "Todd

Was THIS BIG.."

:)

[TooRaLoo]

82. First d00d's

member is how big?

(couldn't resist)

[shanti]

47. if this is true

(considering the source), this will turn MANY women against her! that's one thing women pretty much agree on, especially if they've been thru it themselves with their own men!

[Neshanic]

48. "Confessions of a Snowmachine Sex Addict."

[SpiralHawk]

49. I am shocked, shocked, shocked -- at republicon depravity & hyporcrisy

Heavens. Have republicons no 'family values."

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

53. .......

:rofl:

[Yavin4]

52. Which Hanson Brother Is Named Brad?

[CTyankee]

55. Ya think he's Trig's daddy?

Your pic got me to thinking...

[dixiegrrrrl]

62. Enquirer says affair was in 1996..

hmm..
what are the rest of the kids birthdates?

[Sebastian Doyle]

74. I think he was the oldest one....

...always thought he looked like Butthead. Huh huh huh huh :rofl:

[NeedleCast]

54. Even if it's true, I'm not sure it helps

Attack stories like this in the NE often seem to produce sympathy in the general public.

[Gwendolyn]

56. Only when they go after celebrities for being overweight...

or when they harass people who've just gotten out of rehab. This is juicy, fair game kind of stuff.

[ColbertWatcher]

58. Where is Larry Flynt when we need him?

I am interested in hearing what Brad Hanson has to say. Only Larry Flynt can prevent this guy's first statement to the press from being "swayed".

Damnit.

[DainBramaged]

60. Larry will make it worth his while!!!

So Sarah Plain is an adulterer! HOT SHIT. I trust the NI, they haven't lost many law suits, and why hasn't Sarah Moose sued them yet???

[ColbertWatcher]

75. Flynt is already in the muck and mire already.

If he contributes to the protect Brad and truth fund we all benefit.

[dkofos]

59. Do you think the M$M will crucify Puppie Killer Barbie like they did Edwards??

Right, I didn't think so.

[Jack Rabbit]

61. A broken clock is right twice a day

The NE reached its quota for a while when they published the Edwards-had-an-affair story.

I suppose I'll see this next time I'm waiting in a checkout line. This goes back to the usual NE fair: I either don't believe it or don't care, and most often neither believe it nor care.

[Swamp Rat]

67. is it a vertebrate?

[northernlights]

72. pix...c'mon NE we know you've got them

don't hold back. Well, you can hold back a week or two.

But then WE WANT PIX!

[chat_noir]

78. FReeper attempt at debunking

The rumor I read was that they had film of Palin and “her lover” in Cancun or Acapulco. Given that she is criticized for never having a passport of left the US.

Perdoggy, passports weren't required for travel to Mexico back in 1996

[TooRaLoo]

83. My family went to Mexico several times when I was a kid.

No passport required (at least at the time).

[ashleigh4dem]

79. I feel sorry for

all the conservatives who really thought Palin was such a
great christian.  I could see more lies unraveling as the days
go by.  Not a surprise at all.  I just wonder what's next.  

[BlueInPhilly]

80. Wait a minute!

Weren't you all crying foul over NE's Obama = Muslim registration card?

[OakCliffDem]

81. Kick

[WritersBlock]

85. NE website down? Page unavailable/under construction" on the front page of the site

And there's a 404 to the link in the OP.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

86. musta been a glitch in the Matrix...

i got it...

sP

[WritersBlock]

87. I'm still getting the main page error even after a forced refresh and a different browser.

Also getting

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

88. must be hitting a different physical server then...

cause I can still get it...three browsers...two different computers...maybe one of their mirrors had a glitch...

the image of MOST of the article is above in one of the posts...maybe you can read some of it there...

"Was it the same cat ... ?"

sP

[WritersBlock]

91. Could be; I thought maybe it was because I'm trying to access it from the UK.

Dunno why that would make a difference, though.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

92. yeah...you would likely be hitting one

of the servers that has 'restricted UK ONLY content' :-)

but seriously, would likely be a different server...given your location.

sP

[WritersBlock]

93. Heh... not likely with them, no, but it did happen to me with the GWB website during 2004.

Those dumbshits actually did block access to the campaign website from outside the US.

I still have the screenshot.


:rofl:
